With a little help from friends:

[The Big Glee Bopper]

We have a site we have been developing with artists, programmers,
librarians, and instructional designers. It is scenario-based design,
paper prototyped, and user-tested, almost _exactly_ based upon 'Tog on
Interface' I have a single screen which does nothing at: 

http://copper.ucs.indiana.edu/~thom/c.html

And if you have a moment please log in and tell me what looks like to you, 
what type of machine you are looking at it on, what type of viewer you 
are using, what speed you are connecting at. Had one person last night 
tell me that the image looked funny which was the first time anyone gave 
us that feedback. We've checked this on PCs and know that it does not 
look good at 256 colors, looks fine on Macs, SGI, and SUNs, and looks 
fine under win95. If you can give me an actual seconds to open would also 
be nice.

This is part three of a website we'll demo tomorrow night. We will have a 
complete ascii version, ascii + icon, and this image map version which 
will eventually be 78+ image maps which is part of an MFA Thesis show in 
Graphic Design. This design project has an exquisite artist, actually two 
of them, from day one. The ascii version and ascii + icon version will be 
our concession to reality, 14.4 connections, and lynx, but the image map 
is the hunt for the future and we don't give a damn that you machine 
can't use this _yet_ ... we are assuming the speeds go up and the 
bandwidth widens and public information service will be the hottest thing 
around and probably coming thru public libraries.

After we demo I'll put up the ascii and ascii + icon url, probably some 
time this week end. We'll make it possible for anyone to not just _look_ 
at our site but to actually _download_ and adapt the entire site in 
whatever form you like. We'll attempt to develop the design over time and 
provide support for people to customize the site for their use. It will 
be covered by a GNU copy free notice which means it's free to use and 
develop but can not be _sold_ in any fashion.

Please send image feedback via email so as not to clutter the list.

Thanks, Thom
